Background
Obinna Anthony Ikejimba is a Lecturer at the Institute of Humanities, Pan-Atlantic University, Lagos, Nigeria, with over eight years of experience in university teaching and academic work. His academic background is in Philosophy, with an interdisciplinary research focus that connects philosophy and management, particularly business ethics. He is currently pursuing a PhD in Management, specialising in Business Ethics, at Pan-Atlantic University. Before joining Pan-Atlantic University, he worked in human resource management, including as a Human Resource Business Partner at Eta Zuma Group West Africa. His academic and professional experience therefore combines philosophical inquiry with practical experience in organisational and business contexts. At Pan-Atlantic University, he teaches philosophy, ethics, logic and critical thinking and contributes to the university administration by serving on several university committees.
Research interest
His research interests lie primarily in Business Ethics, with broader interests in Ethics, Humanistic Management, Philosophy of Technology, Environmental Ethics, and Logic and Critical Thinking. His work applies philosophical and ethical reasoning to contemporary business and social questions, with particular attention to African and emerging-market contexts. His current research increasingly explores ethical issues arising from artificial intelligence, sports betting, advertising, technology, sustainability, corporate social responsibility, and responsible business practice.
Teaching
He teaches undergraduate courses in Business Ethics, Logic and Critical Thinking, and Peace and Conflict Resolution.
